∙ 6y agoAssuming you're talking about compressing files and/or disk space... When a computer saves a file or picture - by default, it saves it in equal-sized 'blocks' of data. This can mean it allocates empty space as used - and it looks like there's less free space than there really is.
Compressing files or disks 'strips out' the unused space - and thus reduces the size of the file. This will free up previously allocated space on a hard-drive and also shrink file sizes. This can be especially useful when sending data over he internet - as it reduces the time it takes to send the file.
